Instant pot is it worth it?
Instant pots are half price right now and I'm tempted but also worrying about whether it will be worth the initial outlay to save energy costs when cooking? Does anyone have one? What types of things do you cook n it?

O/S Daily Thursday May 14 2026
Good morning, I'm early because back pain woke me. I went to Drs last week and she gave me a prescription for pain killers, but all they seem to do is give me a dry mouth. Gers, hope yesterday went as well as it could, and that your journey was all right. I know you're moving on again, safe travels. We are meeting an old…

Reverse Meal Planning

Based initially on the fresh produce that would be wasted if it is not…

Prepping: the new world...
Thought it was about time for a new Prepping thread... Please keep it on topic, friendly and realistic for life in the UK (i.e. no hurricane basements, no guns, no politics). For those that don't know, the Guides & Scouts among us will be prepared, but are the rest of us ready? IMPORTANT NOTE: this thread is a resource for…

The all new using what you have from your Freezer, Cupboard or Shed (Barn)
It is probably time to have a new thread for this. What do you have in your freezer? In your cupboard/shed? Do you have a veg patch or allotment? What did you manage to store, preserve or freeze? I, myself, like to cook following a recipe, but love to add veg from my allotment!

Welcome to the weekly Flylady Thread. What is FLYLADY? Well, it's our version of the US flylady idea - but we work on the principle that housework is not fun, it's boring, can be time-consuming, is often thankless but, unfortunately, necessary.

Make Do, Mend & Minimise
With the cost of living showing little sign of easing soon, I thought I'd start a new thread for this. I'm sure many of us are trying to be as environmentally friendly as we can be as well as stretching our budgets as far as we can. I'm putting together a To Do list towards this end and will publish any achievements as and…
